Greetings Fellow Enthusiasts. I have a Hyphalosaurus (122 myo) available for trade or sale. I'm looking for an intact giant sloth digit with claw or a rhino skull or something else equally fun to look at. My fossil interests are broad. This specimen is only on offer because I'm trying to abide by the new, unilaterally decreed, household rule of "you have to start parting with something if you get something new, this place is looking like a cluttered museum." I'm open to offers, if I have to pay you something because you have something more valuable, like a hadrosaur skull or an apatosaurus femur, no problem. Vice versa is fine, too. This specimen appears to have a lot more dimensionality and detail than the very few of them that are out there. The length of the fossil is just over 22 inches and the plate is about 12 by 29.5 inches. If you aren't interested in trading, I'd part with it for $2750 and free shipping in the U.S. Thanks! PM with questions.

Hi, The seller seems to be upfront about a few of the fingers being enhanced and the matrix having been repaired/glued to some mason board or something. Any red flags about the rest?

Hyphalosaurus lingyuanensis
Mart1980 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I recently bought this fossil.. What to think about my Hyphalosaurus lingyuanensis from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning province, China. Has some restoration including a the right side being secured back on not that it damaged. Hope for some I hope for honest answers and opinions. I can have some bad news if that is the case ;). -

Hi all, First post on this forum. I recently purchased a collection of fossils from an estate, which were largely unlabelled. This wasn't an issue for the majority, basic Ammonites, etc. However, this was an interesting piece. I've had a look at it under a USB scope, it looks like it might be real but very heavily restored. However, I'm not an expert on these by any means. I originally thought it might have been a small Keichousaurus, but Hyphalosaurus seems to be a closer match. Would anyone have an idea on the identity, and any input on whether or not it is genuine? Thank you, John

Hyphalosaurus (H. Lingyuanensis)?
DawnOfADream posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello again everyone! This is a specimen that was advertised as a Hydrosaurus Lingyuanensis. The specimen appears to have had some serious restorative attempts done at from the centre to the lower body. I wanted to ask if you could please let me know what you think regarding the authenticity of the specimen - particularly the areas that haven't been modified. The first image acts as a refernece, showing the approximate area where the photos have been taken. Thank you in advance. Frontal image + reference Back of specimen Image 1 - tip of skull 2 - Neck vertebrae 3 - upper body, just below neck 4 - painted on (?) front foot 5- back foot, not looking great either 6 - tail vertebrae 7 - not even sure what I'm looking at Real ribs on the left with some terribly drawn ribs?- 14 replies

In January 1999, two new choristoderans - aquatic living diapside reptiles - from the Jehol biota (Early Cretaceous of Liaoning , China) were described by the "Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoantropology" (IVPP) and by the "Beijing Natural History Museum" (BVC) under the names Sinohydrosaurus lingyuanensis Li et al., 1999 und Hyphalosaurus lingyuanensis Gao et al., 1999. It turned out that both institutes independently described slab and counterslab of the same individuum. H. lingyuanensis is the valid name, this description was published slightly earlier - just by a couple of days. This is a hatchling, adult Hyphalosaurs can reach almost 1.5m in length. Hyphalosaurus is often faked and sold under the designation Jurassic Nothosauria. References: Smith, J. and Harris J.
